Treaty of Cardis
The
Treaty of Cardis (or Peace of Cardis) was a peace settlment made in
1661 between the
Russian Empire and the
Swedish Empire. This particular agreement ended the war that began in
1656 (i.e. Russian forces having seized the Swedish fortresses of
Dinaburg and Kokengausen on the Zapadnaya Dvina; the latter fortress was renamed Tsarevich-Dmitriev). Based on the terms of the treaty,
Russia surrendered to
Sweden all captured territories. Moreover, all vessels constructed at Tsarevich-Dmitriev were destroyed (the vessels were constructed in a shipyard founded by a
boyar named Afanasy Ordin-Nashchyokin). Overall, the Peace of Cardis maintained the territorial accords of the
Treaty of Stolbovo.
